The Truth Revealed:How these popular products could
enhance or endanger your portfolio

Over the past five years alone, ETFs have more than doubled in size to nearly $3 trillion. By 2021, that number is expected to hit somewhere between $7 and $10 trillion.

Yet most investors don’t realize that ETFs can be extremely complex, full of hidden fees and tax implications, and potentially dangerous if used incorrectly.

The truth is, if you’ve been told all ETFs are safe, you’ve been misled. Most investors just don’t know enough about how ETFs actually work to make smart investment decisions.

And just like any investment... if you don’t know what you’re buying, you could be setting yourself up for disaster.

Which is why Jared—author of the critically acclaimed book Street Freak: A Memoir of Money and Madness and former head of ETF trading at Lehman Brothers—hosted this special ETF Master Class.

In this private training, you will learn...

Why most investors lose money with leveraged ETFs—Have you seen ETFs that claim to deliver 2x or 3x returns... and wondered if you should be using them to juice your profits? You’ll learn the dirty truth about these products, and why it’s so easy to lose money using them.

How commodity ETFs are stealing money out of investors’ portfolios—It all has to do with how these funds are constructed (hint: they don’t track commodity prices, but this instead).

The money-making secret hedge funds and institutional traders use when this happens to index funds... and how you can use it to your advantage.

The hidden danger in swaps—What they are, how to spot them in an ETF, and why you should think twice about investing in ETFs that hold them.

Should you use mutual funds or ETFs?—If they both track the same index, which one should you use? Here’s what you need to know before you invest.

What happens behind the scenes when ETFs are traded... and the hidden implications for individual investors.

If the market crashes, what happens to ETF liquidity?—Worried about another “flash crash”... and what might happen to your investments if the market suddenly drops? Here’s what you really need to know about ETF liquidity, and how to protect yourself from getting trapped in a fund you can’t get out of.

4 ETF trading strategies—Interested in short-term investing or day trading? You’ll get the four “must know” strategies every trader needs to master.

Is it better to use options or ETFs when short selling? Want to go short, but not sure if you should use options or an inverse ETF? All you need to do is answer this one question.

The greatest transfer of wealth from retail investors to institutional investors EVER—It happens every single day because retail investors don’t understand how this common, but dangerous, ETF product works. You’ll learn exactly what it is, and how to avoid using it.

How even inexperienced investors could beat 80%of actively managed funds with this simple strategy.

And much, much more!

3 Red Flags to Watch For When Picking an ETF

While Jared can’t give you personalized investment advice… he can teach you “how to fish” by giving you the important information you need in order to properly assess what you’re buying before you buy it.

A lot of very valuable information is inside the prospectus, but most investors never bother to read the prospectus of the funds they buy. That’s because most of them can be a bit intimidating.

The first step is to decide whether you want to buy an ETF of an index, sector, or country. Once you’ve done that, you’ll find several ETFs which all do basically the same thing.

Except there are three key criteria that could determine whether your chosen ETF is a money-making machine or a drain on your portfolio.

In this report, you’ll learn things like:

How to determine which ETFs offer the best value for money

How to figure out what’s actually inside of the ETF

Why you need to carefully consider whether you want access to a highly-weighted or equal-weighted index

How to properly assess the dangers of exotic ETFs that hold futures contracts (i.e., leveraged, inverse, and commodity ETFs)

Why the mechanics of exotic ETFs mean you could lose money in a number of different ways

Not only will you have a much better understanding of how ETFs work as a product … but you’ll understand how investment products work in general and what the implications of the “fine print” mean for you as an investor.
